Morning Briefing: Patriot Front Spreads White Nationalist Propaganda From Washington to New Hampshire

The group has also increasing used antisemitic messaging, in response to the Israel-Hamas war. The group claims that network of chapters are “rapidly expanding across the country,” and multiple network chapters hosted gatherings during the Thanksgiving holidays.

In recent weeks, members of Patriot Front distributed propaganda in several communities including Birmingham, Chelsea, Homewood, Mobile, and Trussville, Alabama; Norco, California; Denver, Colorado; Atlanta, Georgia; Bay City, Midland, and South Lyon, Michigan; Crystal Springs, Meridian, and Starkville, Mississippi; Camdenton and St. Louis, Missouri; Londonderry and Manchester, New Hampshire; Asheville, North Carolina; Fargo, North Dakota; Oklahoma City, Oklahoma; Bountiful, Utah; Alexandria and Fredericksburg, Virginia; and Liberty Lake, and Yakima, Washington.

Patriot Front propaganda was recently reportedly found on the campus of Purdue University, and the “incident appears to be a part of a sporadic pattern of similar stickers going up around campus.” The group has strategically targeted college campuses for spreading propaganda and recruitment of new members, and members recently distributed flyers outside of an event sponsored by the right-wing group Turning Point USA on the campus of Missouri State University.

A pair of civil rights organizations recently filed a lawsuit against Patriot Front, “alleging that it committed racial intimidation by defacing businesses and public property around the city of Fargo with the group’s logo and other graffiti.”

Local law enforcement in multiple counties in Florida, including Volusia, Okeechobee, Palm Beach, Orange, and Brevard, are reportedly “investigating packets of antisemitic flyers that members of a hate group left in residential neighborhoods overnight.”
